It had g I signed and processed the paperwork to finance a used car with the Joe Basil Chevrolet dealership. Communication wasn’t good from the start. It had got to the point to where I even called my bank to see if it was too late for me to cancel everything seeing as I decided to finance. Some employees at the dealership made me feel as if I was a bother and their attitudes were not the most pleasant. I was notified by my bank that it was in fact, too late to scrap the entire deal. The day started at around 2PM and I wasn’t home until after7:30PM (still without my car). After more miscommunication I went into the dealership, having to call them instead of being called, to pick up my paperwork and be transported to the DMV to pick up my plates. I had special ARMY Veteran plates stored already. Long story short I had dealer plates on my car (that I have now signed paid for) and I get to the DMV to find out the Title paperwork was not signed, and the Transaction Receipt was not properly filled out so I could not retrieve my plates. The associate following me to the DMV had left before I knew he arrived, and what I did not realize was that he took the dealer plates with him. I realize it is not very common for them to deal with customers who already have their own plates so I understood that mistakes could happen sending the paperwork outside the dealership, but I was stranded now with my new car and no plates. So, for about 20 or so minutes I sat in my car parked outside the now closed DMV. in a car I cannot drive. The sales associate comes to put the plates back on and we drive 30 more minutes back to the dealership where they correct the paperwork and say they will give me a rental. I purchased a 2015 Infiniti Q50. The rental I sign for I see is a very old (maybe a 2007) Chevy Impala. At this point I don’t care as much because I expect to have my vehicle the next day. The second issue arose when I open the rental door. As you’ll see in the pictures it was absolutely filthy. I couldn’t sit in it without feeling disgusting. All of this happened after the dealership received a loan from my bank and I myself paid over $5,000 out of pocket and traded in my motorcycle. After much frustration I was deeply disappointed with the level or lack of care I have received from this dealership. As a Veteran, a local University student and just a young woman I was let down on all levels. There were a few individuals my salesperson included who have addressed what they could at their level, took responsibility for what they could and apologized for my experience and helped rectify it in what ways they could at the time. From staying late to detailing the car to coming in on their day off to drop my vehicle off to me, which is appreciated. Actions like these have allowed me to remain calm and not be as frustrated as I would have been without their help, concern and common decency. Eventually after some emails and inquiries were sent out to the local leadership at the dealership, I received a call. They explained that this is not how they conduct business and did apologize for my experience. Their solution to make things as right as they could were offering me their direct contact information, which I appreciate and 2 free oil changes which I won’t be accepting for the simple fact that I never want to step foot onto any dealership again.

We took a test drive in a 2019 Trax, and really liked it. Bill was our sales person and took care of everything to help us get it at a payment we were happy with. So, yep, we bought it! Rob took care of the financing paperwork for us and made it fast and easy. Well worth the trip into Joe Basil Chevrolet! This is the second car that we have bought from them, and will continue to go back when we need a new one. Their service depart is awesome too!! More
